Watching Professional Games can be Stressful as well as Shameful

I like tennis although I know the basics only. I like to watch professional tennis players at their best. I feel happy when the player I support goes on to win and become the champion.

But watching tennis - or any sports for that matter - can be stressful. This is particularly so when your favourite player loses. This is unhealthy. Some people can get so emotional that they lose their appetite. Things can be worse. People were known to have died from heart attacks while watching their favorites who lost badly.

So what do you do?

Disengage. Switch off the TV or go to another channel. Leave and do something else. Go to sleep. Read a good book. There are so many positive things that you can do.

Bad habits of players
Some professional players are so childish that they make a mockery of the game. They throw tantrums, They break their rackets. They say or do something abusive.

This is not good for children to see. They may imitate the crazy behaviors of these adults who should set good examples.

So, both players and fans must behave and not do themselves any harm or cause others to regret being a fan. It is shameful. Very shameful. There is no good sense in glorifying such behaviors. The media do that most of the time.
